10 Foods That Never (or Almost Never) Expire

If you want foods that will last for the long term, reach for one of these.

  1. WHITE RICE

Researchers have found that white rice will maintain its nutrient content and flavour for 30 years when it is stored in oxygen-free containers at temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius. Brown rice, however, doesn’t last nearly as long (6 months) because of the natural oils found in its bran layer.

  1. HONEY

Honey has been called the only food that truly lasts forever, thanks to its magical chemistry and the handiwork of bees. When the heated and strained honey is sealed properly, moisture cannot be absorbed, and the honey stays the same forever. The oldest jar of the sweet stuff ever found is believed to be 5,500 years old.

  1. SALT

Because the salt we use for our food, sodium chloride is a mineral that is taken from the earth, it is no surprise that it lasts long. It has also been used for centuries to preserve other foods because it removes moisture. The salt in your cupboard may not last forever, though. Adding iodine to table salt reduces the shelf life, so if your container says iodized salt, expect it to only last about 5 years.

  1. SOY SAUCE

It seems to be that it depends on the type and which additives a particular brand uses, but when left unopened, soy sauce will last a very long time. Even after it has been opened, it can be kept for years in your refrigerator.

  1. SUGAR

As with other items on this list, the storage method that you use for your sugar determines whether or not you can keep it forever.

  1. POWDERED MILK

The taste isn’t quite as good, but one of the main reasons that powdered milk exists is because it lasts longer. It is also easier to transport and store than fresh milk.
